Neutrals to match hair colors

Here are recent photos of my hair colors, shown in different lights. Please excuse the still wet hair in photo 2.
Photos 3, 4 are my recent neutral purchases.
3. Cream bomber jacket, sleeveless sweater with embellishments, long sleeved v neck sweater. Both sweaters are more of a gray-white than a cream.
4. Bomber jacket shown with a rust, tan cream funnel neck sweater, a cream and toffee sweater and a cream and tan long cardigan.
I think I am off to a good start for a neutral fall. I just need to wait for the weather to cooperate. I am still wearing my summer clothes!
Thanks for looking and please share any thoughts or comments you might have for how to style these tops.

Your hair is beautiful, and so are the items you purchased to go with it. Excellent hair-tone matching. I can see those pieces are going to be very versatile.

Your hair color is super-fabulous.
It was a revelation to me that nature provides great highlights-& at a lower cost.

You have very beautiful hair, Mainelady. The new toppers and tops will be perfect with the colors of your hair and they are lovely styles. The creams look yummy with rust, tan and toffee.

The bomber jacket is a great find for you. It really picks up your hair color and you glow in it. I like it with the tomato red you're wearing it with, and I also love that rust stripe sweater with it. All of these neutrals look like they harmonize with your hair nicely. I think, per Angie's post, you can also pick out some darker shades in your hair to play with, if you come across them. I'm thinking the darkest shade in your hair might also bring out your eye color.

Thank you Tanya,Katerina and CarolS. I am really happy with the new pieces (at least in theory). The proof will be in the wearing.
Ophelia, yes, sometimes going the natural route is the best. It took me a while to embrace it, but once I was ready, I was really happy I made that choice…..more money for clothing!

Suz, thank you so much! Letting my natural colors come through was a great decision. Letting my natural curl do its thing is still risky, but I am trying to embrace that, too.
Firecracker, I think you are right. I should be able to pull in some darker colors, due to my dark eyes. I have quite a few dark solids to work with.

Beautiful hair, and VERY effective clothing-and-hair matching! Pretty with your complexion too

Your hair looks beautiful! I'm picturing the tops as a winter white out with corderoy or velvet pants.
